Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a series of phthalocyanine deriv atives bearing phosphonate substituents directly bound to the aromatic rings of the phthalocyanine is described. These novel water-soluble p hthalocyanine tetraphosphonates are of interest for different applicat ions, particularly as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy. Furthe rmore, this synthetic approach allows for more versatility in the prep aration of hydrophilic macrocycles. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Scienc e Ltd
